Description

In a cluttered room in an abandoned coat factory in lower Manhattan, the Late Starters Orchestra comes together each week to make music. All have come late to music or come back to it after a long absence. In this bona fide amateur string orchestra, Goldman pursues his lifelong dream of playing the cello. Goldman takes us along to LSO rehearsals and his son's Suzuki lessons; he explores history's greatest cellists and attempts to understand what motivates his fellow late starters.
